I think it should be legal to SHOOT a55h*les that steal your freshly shovelled spot, on the street or in a lot.

I clear a spot, go get my car, and some scumbucket has usurped all my labour? I think NOT!

[riverrunner]

Another reason I live on the country I could park thousands of cars on my property and still have the best spot for myself.

[cherry]

that would certainly make me very angry...

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

They should adopt the Chicago practice of “dibs.” You shovel the spot, you put a couple of lawn chairs in it, and it’s yours.

[TexasFreeper2009]

no mention of their names... I am guessing their names would have given away their race... and we can’t have THAT now can we?

[Paladin2]

Private, off street parking is worth it.

[TChad]

The article fails to answer the most important question:

Who got the parking spot?

[BradyLS]

You don’t have to have snow to ruin a parking space. Folks that roll up on the line between two spaces get my goat.

[LeoTDB69]

Simple solution: Take all the snow you shoveled and put it back in that spot...covering their car.

Extra work, yeh, but satisfying.

[PAR35]

I wouldn’t fight over it. I’d just let the air out of all 4 tires.

[nickedknack]

Hair pulling, no arrests, no punches, no clothes torn off, no weaves flying through the air. Could be just white trash.

[fungoking]

This is worth fighting over, someone shoveled the snow and earned the parking space through their labor. Not like the typical brawl over McNuggets purchased with an EBT card.

[teeman8r]

My dad had this happen to him... he quietly shoveled all the snow back into its place... and buried the car.

It took me hours to get out of that car.

[upchuck]

Article doesn’t say but want to bet this happened in a Wal*Mart parking lot?

[PA Engineer]

Pittsburgh solved this problem years ago with the official parking space chair.

[snarkytart]

That happens here too. People put their chairs right in the cleared out spot. You better not touch the chairs either. lol

[Born to Conserve]

Why do people buy cars if they have no place to put them? You should have to pay rent to the taxpayers who pay for the street.

[trebb]

I wouldn’t fight over it. I’d just let the air out of all 4 tires.

With a Bowie knife.....

My Dad had a neighbor park in the spot he dug out (2 foot snowfall) and he gave her the option.

1. Move your car now.
2. Move your car in the spring.

He told her he would put all of the snow back and then get the garden hose and it would be a solid block of ice.

She moved the car.
